I joined Peter for a day on Cebolla Creek, which is a small stream that drains Slumgullion Pass. It generally has a lot of brush and trees along the banks, so you have to work in tight quarters to get a fly to the fish. Although most of the fish are small (maybe 8 inches or so), there are some big fish in there too. I was fortunate and landed a nice 20-inch rainbow and a beautiful 16-inch cutthroat that Peter and I cast to for about an hour before he finally took one of my flies.

In this picture you can really see the "cuts" that give the cutthroat its name |

When we got back to town, we decided we needed to do some more fishing, so we went out to a pond and caught some nice brook trout, like this one |
